Platform Seven at 4am: Peterborough Railway Station is deserted. The man crossing the covered walkway on this freezing November morning is confident he's alone. As he sits on the metal bench at the far end of the platform it is clear his choice is strategic - he's as far away from the night staff as he can get.

What the man doesn't realise is that he has company. Lisa Evans knows what he has decided. She knows what he is about to do as she tries and fails to stop him walking to the platform edge.

Two deaths on Platform Seven. Two fatalities in eighteen months - surely they're connected?

No one is more desperate to understand what connects them than Lisa Evans herself. After all, she was the first of the two to die . . .

Praise for this book

"I could read a telephone directory if Louise Doughty wrote it. Fortunately she wrote Platform Seven instead. A beautifully constructed novel about love of all kinds. A joy from the first page to the last." - Clare Mackintosh

"Louise Doughty leads her unnerved readers into dark territory." - Hilary Mantel

"Utterly mesmerizing, with the pace of a thriller and a sense of profound mystery in the most ordinary of settings. I was hooked from its start to its nerve-racking, surprising finish." - Deborah Moggach
